Seems that at TRU there are 3 packs of figures hitting. One is with the Epic 2 Legolas, Epic 2 Witch King with Flaming Sword, and the Epic 2 Mordor Orc Lieutenant. So keep your eyes open. IF anyone finds an extra please PM me. I'd be happy to pay $20 plus shipping if someone wants to help a HUGE LOTR fan!

It was supposed to be a relaunch of the Trilogy line, with better-looking card art. Alas, retailers didn't get on board with it, and Toy Biz elected not to renew the license for 2006 and later, so that's the last two waves of LOTR figures.

Epic 2 features the Witchking of Angmar w/flaming sword, a new Eowyn, and the much in-demand Mordor Orc Lieutenant. This wave is making us loyal LOTR toy fans go nuts since TB elected to hose us by not releasing them in the US, except for a few value packs.

I found one of those electronic Sauron figures (talks and has light up eyes) for $9.99 today. I think they originally retailed up here for $39, so I was happy to buy it. Wasn't expecting to own that figure, but it will be a nice addition at a good price.

Interesting time to bump this up. I saw the Elven box set (whatever it's called) and the Mouth of Sauron set at a clearance outlet locally for $30 per box. That's a pretty good improvement over the $39-49 regular retail we had here. The Elf box never actually showed here in original release.

I never did see the Lothlorien set here, or in any of my travels. It's around, so I should probably get that soon, or hopefully find the Haldir and Celeborn figures that were exclusively in that set since I don't need another damn Frodo or Aragorn.

I hope that Balrog stays in stock for another month or so, so I can get one before they disappear. At the price, I think it will, but I doubt the production run was very high, so I wonder.

Okay, just got home (Burbank, CA) and saw the Balrog sitting on my front step.

It comes in a HUGE brown box that says, "NECA 25" Balrog Electronic Action Figure" on the side. I opened the box up, and the Balrog is packaged in many different sections inside. There's no retail packaging aside from the plain brown box it comes in...so there's definitely no chance of seeing this at stores like Suncoast, etc.

I didn't realize he was going to come completely disassembled. It looks cool from what I can tell. Need to clear a space in the collecting room so I can lay all the pieces out and put him together later.

Where's the best place to find the Toybiz LOTR figures online? I checked Ebay, and prices are reasonable for the later, less available figures, but I couldn't find them in any sort of structure. I checked out KB Toys, TRU, Walmart, Target, and none of them are selling LOTR figures anymore, so I'm afraid I must go online. The site I trust most, EE, doesn't sell them either, so to catch up on these collectibles, where would you suggest I go to find them?
